In autumn, the sparse sunlight will slowly fall on the towering buildings. The blue gray glass refracts the faint halo of flowing light. This reinforced forest city is suffused with shallow fish scale waves, and the gorgeous Yingying light spot flickers gently. The magnificent and graceful scene is amazing.
It seems that New York has just entered autumn, and it has not had time to experience in detail. The pace of winter can't wait to approach, which makes people yearn for the moment when the long day is coming to an end; But unfortunately, the small box of high-rise buildings is still busy, there is no way to slow down.
The tension and fatigue behind the busy traffic are all year round.
"... if you can't complete such a simple and basic work, then I don't see the development potential for you to become an excellent lawyer. Our job is to be rational and careful. Any mistake may lead us to lose the lawsuit."
"I believe Harvard law school should be more than that. Please don't be arrogant and arrogant with ivy. It will only make you ugly; Please don't shift the responsibility to the interns, which will only make you look stupid and don't know it. "
The steady but severe voice was surging in the office, but the voice that was not raised deliberately burst out an overwhelming strength in the heavy tone, pounding heavily and dully. All the members who were attending the meeting kept silent, even did not dare to make eye contact, and the frightening low pressure was breathless.
"Knock!"
The knock on the door was untimely. It was obviously a terrible time. It was a head-on collision with the muzzle of the gun, which made people feel a cold sweat for the poor guy outside the office; But for the people in the office, it is a life-saving straw, and all eyes are moving in unison.
However, immediately you can feel the eyes projected from the front of you, which hit you like an arrow. The survival instinct makes you close your eyes again, and quietly lower your head, for fear that if you are a little late, you will face the dragon's anger alone.
Gee.
The office door was slowly pushed open, and then a figure came in. The frightened expression was about to cry. Especially when I saw the angry eyes sweeping over, the fear of serial blasts made my voice stuck in my throat, and my mind turned into a blank.
"You'd better give me a perfect reason."
The sound of the words came from the bottom of my throat, like a murmur from the bottom of hell.
Lily Dean doesn't want to either. How can she not know? Never interrupt the regular morning meeting! This is the first rule learned after entering a law firm! Especially in the last two days——
Matthew Dunlop, who is in charge of the meeting, can be said to be in full swing. The ultra-low air pressure makes people shudder. He is not in a rage, but he can still create a shudder of fear. Even the senior partners of the law firm are wise to give up, let alone other ordinary employees.
What's worse, Matthew's meticulousness in his work is really amazing. Any tiny mistake can't escape his eyes. He is so picky that everyone can't stop complaining about his harsh work standards. Originally, there were many complaints in the company, but it turned out that the boss was scolded by Matthew, and he still listened honestly. Those complaints were immediately cut off, and no one dared to say anything more.
Lily doesn't want to interrupt the morning meeting if she can. She doesn't even want to get close to the meeting room, but... But the boss says, "just interrupt."
The big boss speaks, but he doesn't need to show up. It's just the little shrimps who come on the stage. Lily is also extremely aggrieved.
At this time, Lily can feel Matthew's calm but unfathomable eyes staring at her. Her whole back is covered with goose bumps. Her only idea is to turn around and run away. But the boss's words are still ringing in her ears, and she can only say it with a stiff head.
"Datong's case has been extended again, and their latest evidence has been approved by the prosecutor. What should we do?"
In a short sentence, Lily can feel that the temperature in the whole meeting room is decreasing, and even the sound of breathing is gradually disappearing. Everyone is trying their best to eliminate their sense of existence for fear of being directly attacked by the hurricane. Only lily, who has nowhere to escape, faces Matthew.
"Inform the whole team to have a meeting immediately and I'll be there after the morning meeting."
Matthew didn't fly into a rage, but his dull and serious voice revealed a kind of cold in his heart. The indoor air was approaching zero continuously in a free falling posture. Behind his concise words, there was a heavy impact, which seemed to be felt even outside the office.
Lily didn't say anything more. She closed the door gently and completely cut Matthew's eyes off. At this time, she realized that her whole back was wet through. The panic made her palms tremble and her knees soften. She almost couldn't stand still. She had to rely on the wall to support her body, but she still didn't dare to relax, There's only one thought on my mind: get out of this office as soon as possible.
It's just that my legs don't work.
Vaguely, Lily could hear the rustling sound from the surrounding work compartment. Her first reaction was to raise her middle finger and scold her back
You guys, all you know about is watching good plays? Is intern easy to bully?
But she knows she can't, because interns are really bullied in law firms; What's more, she really does not have the energy to pay attention to those gossips, nor the spirit to curse those gloating whispers. She needs to stand up first.
"How are you? Can I help you? "
There was a low and gentlemanly voice not far ahead. The elegant London voice was beating on the eardrum, with an imperceptible light hoarseness. It was like a feather slipping through the heart, which made Lily's confusion and anxiety calm a little. She quickly raised her head.
"No..."
In a law firm, an intern must not reveal her vulnerability, or she will be torn to pieces by these wild animals soon. She needs to be strong, but her words can't help slowing down. "Thank you..." finally, her voice disappears in her throat.
Lily is a little dazed. Her brain, which has never been able to recover completely, is like sinking into quicksand. She keeps running slowly, staring at the face in front of her eyes.
The other side stretches out her right hand to lily, and lily also stretches out her right hand foolishly. With the help of the other side, she successfully stands firm.
The sparse and handsome eyebrows gently spread out, just like the clouds spread out on the sky in late autumn. The eyes reveal a shallow gentle smile, just like the warm sun in late autumn. People can't help but sigh, and can't help but close their eyes and stroll around.
"Maybe you need a cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate."
The mellow voice said with a smile, but Lily could not respond at all, even nodded her head. In a moment, she felt that she was in the pink bubble of her childhood dream. The dreamlike beauty and charm made her head heavy and she could only indulge herself in it.
"Excuse me, is this the next room where Matthew Dunlop is having a meeting?"
Lily finally had some reaction. She nodded and opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she found that there was no idea in a blank brain, so she nodded again to show her affirmation.
"Thank you."
With that, the other side released his right hand and continued to move towards the office.
Lily finally recovered a little. "Wait a minute." Trying to remind the other party, "don't... don't..." it's absolutely irrational to interrupt the meeting again. Her face is full of anxiety and fear, even more nervous and worried than when she just walked into the office.
But did not expect, the other party just turned around, showed a bright smile, put the finger on the lip, "Shh", the next second has already opened the door.
"Bang!"
Lily can't help but close her eyes and curl up. But... The roar of expectation doesn't appear. It's just quiet, even too quiet. That kind of panic can't help surging up again
What's going on inside?
Lily hesitated for a moment. She was about to approach the door and try to catch some clues. But before she had time to step forward, the office door was pushed open again, and a gust of wind blew by. Then Lily could see two tall and slender figures rushing out one by one.
Step on, step on.
Step on, step on.
As she strides unstoppably towards the elevator, Lily finds out that Matthew's back is clattering past her. Before she can react, she has already moved forward with the figure just now. There is no pause or hesitation.
"Ding!"
When the elevator was opened, all the eyes of the whole floor peeped out of the cubicle, only to find that the man was not nervous or flustered at all. He even showed a polite smile and gently indicated his apology.
Many people ignored Matthew, who was standing next to him with a gloomy face. He waved his hand boldly and said hello secretly.
"Ding!"
When the elevator closed, Matthew's cold and serious face gradually disappeared behind the elevator door, but the whole floor was silent, and the raised arms were put down again. At this time, he realized that he had just done something stupid.
Lily finds that her thinking speed can't keep up with it completely, and she has slowed down a lot. She always feels as if she has missed something important and forgotten something important, but her brain can't work and just stays in the same place.
What happened just now?
